Explanation:

Water is generally regarded as universal solvent due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds.

A water molecule has partial positive and negative charges on it thus, it is a polar compound.

  • The binding rule for substances to dissolve one another is that they must be like one another.
  • Polar solutes or substance only dissolves in polar solvents. Non-polar substances will dissolve in non-polar solvents.
  • Water is polar and ionic substances are polar too.
  • In water, the positive end of a salt is completely surrounded by water molecules and they hydrate it. The same analogy goes for the negative end.
  • This is called hydration.
  • The hydration complex keeps the salt dispersed in the water.
  • This why water is able to dissolve a broad range of substances.

Glial cells called _____ help maintain the blood-brain barrier, whereas _____ create the myelin that envelopes axons. astrocytes
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: Glial cells called ASTROCYTES help maintain the blood-brain barrier, whereas SCHWANN CELLS create the myelin that envelopes axons

Explanation: Glial cells are specialized cell that are found in both central and peripheral nervous systems, that surrounds the neurones, providing them with support and insulation. There are different types of Glial cells these includes:

- Astrocytes: they maintain the blood brain barrier.

- Schwann cells: create the myelin that envelopes axons of the peripheral nervous system neurones.

- satellite cells: These cells help regulate the external chemical environment of neurones.

- Microglia: they clean up cellular debris through phagocytosis.

- Oligodendrocytes: create the myelin that envelopes axons of the central nervous system
